How did he play?
Not sure but he set up the opening goal.
edit: the BBC report has it wrong, it was McCarthy who shot and the keeper parried it to Naismith
From what I saw, McGeady controlled the rebound from the goalie and laid it on for Naismith.Quote:

You're right actually, the video I was looking at was very grainy and McCarthy runs in front of McGeady's in the celebration.Quote:

He's been taking way too much out of the ball since.
Were you expecting any different tho?we are all aware of his game at this stage the everton fans might not be tho!
I'm pointing it out for the benefit of those not watching.

Just say he lacked end product. Go on Stu, you know you want to.
Haha! I can't do it.
Despite much effort and graft, an impotent performance then?
Why not let the wee man speak for himself? he's not shy to give a fair appraisal of his efforts.
Getting up to full speed.
“I was obviously a little bit apprehensive at the start, a little bit nervous,” McGeady told evertontv. “In the first half I thought I did okay and the second half I probably let myself down a couple of times. But I kept going to the end and I’m just happy that we won.
“It was a great first game for me – not because I played great, because I didn’t – but because the team ultimately won and that’s the main thing.
“There were a few little things I was disappointed with. If I was on my game I know I wouldn’t have done those things, but I can’t be too harsh on myself because I need to bide my time and be patient. Hopefully in the coming months I can get up to full speed.”
Fixed.Quote:

If I was an opposition fan, Duff would definitely be the Irish player that would have me screaming at the TV.

"Failing to take chances, however, has been a recurring theme of the 27-year-old's career whose return of just three goals from 63 internationals has left a succession of Irish managers, from Brian Kerr to Giovanni Trapattoni, scratching their heads in frustration.
If only this was their sole concern, but other shortcomings, namely his dubious decision-making and substandard crossing, have left him at a stage in his career where instead of reaching his peak, he is still trying to convince."
